Praise for Philippa Gregory:

`Meticulously researched and deeply entertaining, this story of betrayal and divided loyalties is Gregory on top form' - Good Housekeeping
`Gregory has popularised Tudor history perhaps more than any other living fiction writer...all of her books feature strong, complex women, doing their best to improve their lives in worlds dominated by men' - Sunday Times
`Engrossing' - Sunday Express
`Popular historical fiction at its finest, immaculately researched and superbly told' - The Times

“Gregory is one of historical fiction’s superstars, and The Kingmaker’s Daughter shows why . . . providing intelligent escape, a trip through time to a dangerous past.” - Historical Novels Review (Editor's Choice Review)
“Wielding magic again in her latest War of the Roses novel … Gregory demonstrates the passion and skill that has made her the queen of English historical fiction.…Gregory portrays spirited women at odds with powerful men, endowing distant historical events with drama, and figures long dead or invented with real-life flaws and grand emotions. She makes history … come alive for readers.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
